Definitely unmistakeably pregnant

One curio that came up in Pregnancy Yoga, apparently, is pelvic ache. The bones stretching and shifting caused by pregnancy is encouraged by relaxin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relaxin), and it ain't all easy.

The ache is partly what keeps her awake at night. The leader of the Pregnancy Yoga class helpfully pointed out that it is a common occurrence...not that there is anything to be done about it.

Besides bending and flexing, Priti also gets to meet other pregnant women, at various stages. At 17 weeks, she is definitely unmistakeably pregnant - waaaay more so than even a week ago - and compared with people at a similar stage is huge. At this rate, she'll be the size of the house.
